I really hesitated getting this because of the price but looked high and low and couldnt find anything like it so I took the plunge. I absolutely LOVE it!! Its great quality, easy to put together and adds so much character. One review had said they had painted theirs black so thats what I was prepared to do but even though up close (as shown) you can see its not a true black, from a distance you cant tell at all so Im happy with leaving it as is. I went for an upscale look for my guest bthrm and this ties in the look perfectly. Definitely recommend!
